Chapter 277
It is said that the door bar of the county lord is high, how high should the door bar of the governor of a state be?
As the state pastor of Xuzhou, not to mention anything else, there are as many as twenty or thirty sergeants in front of Tao Qian's door alone, and they are all dressed up as heroes, and each of them does not look like ordinary soldiers. When he first arrived www.biquge.info in Xuzhou some time ago, Sun Guan commented that after excluding the cavalry battle, each of these sergeants was definitely not weaker than the dare to go first.
It is not surprising that although Xuzhou does not dare to have such carefully selected soldiers and horses as the first army, there is also such an existence as Danyang elite soldiers, and Tao Qian's ability to gain a foothold in Xuzhou is also related to the existence of Danyang soldiers. It's really easy to pick out dozens of elites from the world-famous Danyang elite soldiers...
But...
Such an elite is just used to watch the home nursing home, so it's no wonder that Tao Qian can't compete with a hero like Cao Cao...
In addition to these elites carefully selected from the Danyang soldiers, there are also many sergeants patrolling back and forth in front of the state governor's mansion, even if someone takes a little more look in the direction of the mansion gate, it may arouse their suspicion. It is no wonder that there are very few people passing by in front of the gate of the state pastoral mansion, and almost all of the people who come are people with status in Xuzhou.
Riding in front of the gate of the state pastor's mansion and looking at these guards who did not squint, the original Mi Zhu had never had such an idea. Although Mi Zhu is also a humble gentleman and has a very high resourcefulness, after all, he is from a family, and he doesn't know much about this aspect, even if he thinks that such an elite is somewhat violent to look at the family nursing home, but he doesn't think there is anything surprising...
It wasn't until he saw the Dare Xianjun from Qingzhou and the soldiers around Yan Shao that he realized that there were still such elites in the world. And the biggest place for such an elite to play is not somewhere else, but precisely the battlefield ...
Even Yan Shao himself has led the armor soldiers around him to charge into battle many times...
Pity...
"Tao Mansion Jun is dying, it seems that it is difficult for these elites to set foot on the battlefield..."Thinking so in his heart, Mi Zhu had already come to the position in front of the door, nodded to the guards guarding the gate, and stepped in.
This state pastoral mansion is no stranger to Mi Zhu, and when he came in the past, it could be said to be unimpeded, so that no one would jump out to stop him with a head cramp.
The familiarity along the way, so he would soon come to Tao Qian.
"As soon as I was tired, I said that I wanted to see the king..." When he arrived at the door, Mi Zhu stopped and said to the waiter in front of the door.
It's not that Mi Zhu's privileges are limited to this, even if he really breaks in, no one may really blame himββββββ or Tao Qian may not really blame him, the head of the Mi family, because of this, as long as Tao Qian still wants the support of the Mi family...
This is a matter of etiquette, and no one may dare to blame him for breaking in, but this kind of rude thing is absolutely unacceptable for a humble gentleman like Mi Zhu.
Not to mention how many impression points will be lost in front of Tao Qian after doing this. Maybe Tao Qian won't blame Mi Zhu for this, but who knows if he will keep this matter in his heart. It was for such a trivial matter to make him lose points in front of Tao Qian, and Mi Zhu would not do such a thing.
Besides, there is no need.
The servant had barely taken a few breaths before he walked out quickly.
"Mi-sama, please, my lord has been waiting for a long time..."
Nodding slightly, Mi Zhu walked past the next person, went straight to the room, and soon saw Tao Qian, who was still in bed, and Cao Hong, who was beside him and didn't know what to say.
Mi Zhu was well aware of the extent to which Cao Hong was favored by Tao Qian's side, and was not surprised at all by his appearance. Seeing that he just nodded slightly, it was a greeting, and then he looked at Tao Qian who was lying on the bed.
Compared with the previous days, perhaps because of the news that Cao Cao had withdrawn from the army, Tao Qian's complexion was obviously much stronger, and he could even talk to others by himself half-lying down without the support of others, so that he would not be half-dead as he was at the beginning, as if he was about to swallow his breath.
This is also one of the reasons why Cao Hong has been coming over during this time, if Tao Qian is really about to die, maybe he will be like the original Mi Zhu and Chen Deng, and he will also start to think about the way back. After all, unlike Mi Zhu and Chen Deng, Cao Hong does not have the ability to excel, let alone the power that is enough to affect the entire Xuzhou, if Cao Hong still wants to continue to maintain the rights he has now, the only way is to curry favor with the new state pastor, that is, Yan Shao...
However, what is surprising is that Tao Qian's body actually improved quickly after Cao Cao retreated, which made Cao Hong not too anxious to find his next home. Of course, Cao Hong's doing this also gave him a lot of points in front of Tao Qian, and at the critical moment, Cao Hong did not betray Tao Qian to find a new master, no matter how you look at it, this matter is a thing that makes Tao Qian happy.
Seeing Mi Zhu coming in, Tao Qian also hurriedly said hello: "Zizhong, what's the situation." β
Obviously, he also knew about going to Yan Shaona, so it was better to say that he arranged Mi Zhu to go over.
Mi Zhu also hurriedly cleaned up his mood, came to Tao Qian's front and said softly: "Fu Jun, I have already conveyed your meaning, and I have also explained our current difficulties, but I just want to go to Yan Zhijun is not very happy with this result, and I don't plan to give up my reward..."
"Hmph..."Cao Hong snorted coldly when he heard this. So what? This time, because of the relationship between the Cao thief, Xuzhou is thousands of miles away, I don't know how many people are displaced, and the places where the Cao thief passes along the way are even more empty, how can Xuzhou get so much food to him at this time. Besides, this time Cao Thief withdrew from the army because of Lu Bu's relationship, how could he dare to ask for this reward? β
The front is actually fine, but the back is a little bit strong. If Yan Shao hadn't been by his side to offer advice, everyone would not have thought of attacking Cao Cao with the help of Lu Bu's hand, so as to force Cao Cao to retreat.
Moreover, since going south, what Yan Shao has done is definitely not small. The thousands of cavalry under his command have played a key role many times, not to mention how many generals in the Cao camp have been killed by Gan Ning, Guan Hai and a few others.
Before, because of the cowardly relationship between the generals, the Xuzhou army has always been trapped in a passive situation, knowing that the Qingzhou army arrived after this situation was reversed, even to the point of attacking and defending, in which the role of the Qingzhou army can be said to be a great contribution.
Now Cao Hong wants to erase the role of the Qingzhou Army with just one sentence, if it really spreads, I am afraid it will provoke the ridicule of the heroes.
Sure enough, Cao Hong's words had just fallen, and Mi Zhu had already said almost categorically: "This is a bad word, not to mention that there is no Yan Fu to offer advice first, can we think of using Lu Bu to deal with Cao Cao, just say that the role played by the Qingzhou army after it goes south is definitely not negligible, Ziqian is unjust to say this..."
"So what!" Cao Hong has a little bit of a real villain, and he doesn't deny his words at all, but says it confidently. "Does Zizhong really intend to fulfill his promise? Do you know how many people in Xuzhou are displaced and can't eat, if you really give food to the Qingzhou army, I'm afraid the whole of Xuzhou will be hungry! β
There is no way, after such a toss, Xuzhou has suffered heavy losses. Originally, Xuzhou was also wealthy, especially in the official treasury, there were countless storagesββββββ I have to say that although Tao Qian has a little bit of loyalty and treachery, Xuzhou can also be said to be dark under his governance, but at least Xuzhou itself is still very rich.
Even the rewards that were originally promised to Yan Shao are not really impossible to get.
But there is a premise for this, that is, Xuzhou is what it is...
After Cao Cao came, half of the land in Xuzhou was destroyed by the war, and the grain in the original official treasury had already been taken out to relieve the victims, and the rest should also be used for reconstruction and other aspects of work.
If you really grit your teeth and fail to fulfill your promise...
I'm afraid that Tao Qian is going to hit them with his thoughts...
It's not surprising that the government does not have food, but the family has...
As long as the family is asked to produce some food, it can completely meet Yan Shao's needs, but in that case, the interests of the family will be damaged...
Cao Hong is also a member of the family, and he must find a way to protect the interests of the family. If the family's etiquette is not damaged, it will only damage the interests of Yanyao...
"Of course, you Mi Zizhong can also pay out of your own pocket and give us this food, isn't this a problem solved, anyway, your Mi family has a big business, and you don't care about such a little food..."
is a humble gentleman, Cao Hong's words still made Mi Zhu a little angry. After all, no matter from which point of view, the Mi family has no reason to hand over the grain for Xuzhou, and the Mi family is rich enough to rival the country, and the grain is not really impossible to take. The problem is that even if the Mi family wants to come up with so much food, it is not easy, and if it is not done well, it will hurt the vitality.
Families generally only have their own interests in their eyes, and they are not without loyalty to the king, but when their loyalty to the king conflicts with their own interests, they usually defend their own interests first.
The same is true now, Mi Zhu is not the kind of person who doesn't know the general situation, and he knows very well what the consequences will be if he really falls out with Yan Shao, but if he is allowed to damage his own interests for the sake of Xuzhou, this is something he absolutely does not want...
When Mi Zhu was about to fall out with Cao Hong, Tao Qian, who had been silent beside him, suddenly opened his mouth and diverted the topic, which also avoided a real conflict between the two.
"Why, does Yan Fuxian really disagree..."Frowning slightly, Tao Qian spoke.
In fact, since Mi Zhu and Yan Shao had close contacts, Tao Qian did not treat Mi Zhu as closely as in the past. But the Mi family's power in Xuzhou is not something he can ignore, don't look at him is very fond of Cao Hong, if there is a conflict between the two, for the comfort of his own rule in Xuzhou, Tao Qian can only punish Cao Hong.
In order to avoid such a thing from happening, Tao Qian could only intervene first, lest Cao Hong really suffer.
"Exactly..."At this time, Mi Zhu didn't care about comparing with Cao Hong, and said to Tao Qian. Fujun, this matter needs to be considered more, at the moment, Xuzhou is really not suitable to be an enemy of Qingzhou..."
Now that Xuzhou has formed such a mortal enemy as Cao Cao, if he really makes a feud with Qingzhou again, the situation will be very dangerous.
Tao Qian lowered his head and pondered, and he was also a little hesitant about this matter, and Cao Hong next to him said with some disdain. "We are the same as Yan Shao, and we are allies with Yuan Shu, does he dare to attack us in the face of the world's condemnation? If that's the case, we can send someone to Yuan Highway, and Yuan Highway will inevitably send troops to uphold justice! β
I have to say that at this time, the Yuan family is still very famous in the eyes of the world, even if the Yuan family is now divided into two.
However, hearing Cao Hong's words, Mi Zhu smiled disdainfully. "Yuan Highway? If something really happened, this person would not be reliable at all, and when Cao Cao invaded before, we didn't go to Yuan Highway to ask for reinforcements, what was the result? β
Tao Qian was a close ally of Yuan Shu, and when he was attacked by Cao Cao, Tao Qian almost immediately sent people to Yuan Shu to seek reinforcements. After the envoy arrived, Yuan Shuzhi was full of promises, but the promised reinforcements never arrived, and finally the problem was solved after the Qingzhou army arrived.
Tao Qian also knows a lot about Yuan Shu, and he knows very well that this person is not particularly considered, which is also the biggest concern in his heart.
If Yuan Shu is really worth relying on, maybe Tao Qian has already turned against Yan Shao. It's a pity that this is not the case, Yuan Shu is notoriously unreliable. When the sour jujube alliance was formed, because he was jealous of Sun Jian under his account, Sun Jian almost died in the hands of Hua Xiong, and no one dared to guarantee that he would be able to do it this time...
But...
If you really want him to hand over the reward he promised to Yan Shao, this is also what he is unwilling to do...
"Alas, this matter is waiting...", with a long sigh, Tao Qian could only say so.
"Fu Jun..." Mi Zhu couldn't help but scream, but unfortunately, many things were not something he could decide.
In some things, even if Mi Zhu and Chen Deng are together, it is difficult to change Tao Qian's mind, just like now...
In the end, Mi Zhu had no choice but to give up and return to the mansion by car...
